  • Broad beans

    just got back from haveing a look at the plot and our broad beans have chocolat spot allready, only on the seeds we planted from last year's packet

    do you think we should take them out, or just strip the brown off
    I wont be saving seeds from this year if this is what we get

    I would say it depends on what stage your plants are at. If they are flowering or past that stage, then I personally wouldn't bother as the Chocolate Spot will be largely cosmetic and your beans will be okay. By the time I finished picking my broad beans last year, the plants were covered but the pods and beans were fine.

      Yeah Mr D what SR says - we had it on our beans last year and they tasted fine. Think there's some coming this year too, can't figure why, but as long as I can eat the broadies!

        The local pick your own farm (which is organic) has chocolate spot on its broadies every year and they find that its only cosmetic so let it be.
